About Anedtra

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and related challenges. She also helps people dealing with addictions, career stress, grief, parenting pressures, and codependency concerns.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions involve talking through immediate problems, learning skills to manage strong feelings, and trying different ways of responding to relationship patterns.

She emphasizes clear, straightforward work. Clients can expect to name what feels stuck, practice strategies for boundaries and self-regulation, and check what works between sessions. Treatment often includes short exercises, behavior-focused goals, and attention to how past attachment experiences shape current choices.

Anedtra supports people who are worn down by putting others first or living around another person's drinking, moods, or crises. She also addresses abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and control struggles, and coping with life changes. The tone in sessions is direct and practical, focused on skills and personal values.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches are used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and confusion about priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try approaches that match those goals. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the process is collaborative rather than fixed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue consistent meetings across locations if life requires it. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach coping skills, practice boundary-setting, and track progress between meetings.
